China, Angola sets up strategic partnership

VISITING Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping said here in Luanda yesterday that China and Angola would, during his visit, publish a join declaration on establishing strategic partnership between the two countries.

Xi made the remarks when holding talks with Angolan Vice President Fernando da Piedade Dias dos Santos, saying that this symbolizes a new stage for the relationship between China and Angola, according to a press release issued by the Chinese delegation.

After the talks, the two leaders witnessed a ceremony for signing seven inter-governmental cooperation agreements, covering economic technology, energy, mining, agriculture and finance.

During the talks, Xi lauded the energetic development of China and Angola's bilateral relations.

During the first nine months of this year, the bilateral trade volume increased by 80.8 percent over the same period of last year, hitting a record high.

Looking ahead, Xi also put forward a four-point proposal to further boost bilateral strategic partnership, including enhancing political trust, pushing forward substantial cooperation, expanding people-to-people and cultural exchange, and strengthening coordination in the international arena.

The Angolan vice president said that the Angola-China cooperation had not only contributed to Angola's economic reconstruction and people's lives, but also helped meet the needs for China's economy and energy consumption.

He said Angola is willing to elevate its relations with China in a comprehensive manner, according to the press release.
